Is there a Jujutsu equivalent to git log --all?

Yes, 'jj log -r ..' is the closest equivalent to 'git log --all', showing all visible commits (excluding the root) across all branches and bookmarks.

How do I find a commit by its description in Jujutsu?

You can search commit messages using the revset pattern 'jj log -r description(keyword)'. This works even if the commit is currently hidden from the default view.

Why can't I see my recent commits in jj log?

By default, jj log only shows local commits and their parents to reduce noise. You can see everything, including hidden commits, by running 'jj log -r all()'.

What does the 'several revisions' marker mean in the log?

This indicates 'elided' revisions—intermediate commits that exist but are hidden in the current view. Use 'jj log -r connected(a, b)' to show these intermediate steps.

Productivity & Workflow

Optimizes Jujutsu version control workflows by surfacing hidden commits and clarifying complex log visibility rules.

This skill enhances Claude's ability to navigate the Jujutsu (jj) version control system by providing deep insights into log visibility and revset patterns. It helps developers locate 'missing' commits, understand elided revision markers, and translate Git log behaviors into efficient Jujutsu commands. By leveraging specialized revsets, the skill ensures that local history, remote branches, and hidden revisions are always accessible and interpretable, reducing confusion for users transitioning from traditional VCS tools.
